Ian Bell wanted his effluent pond swirling. So when his first stirrer wasn’t getting the job done he went on the hunt for something better…
Ian and his son Andrew (pictured above) run a 660-700 cow dairy farm in Reperoa, Waikato. At first glance, everything was operating smoothly with the original effluent system that had only recently been installed. Effluent processed through a separation system before flowing into a large 1,000,000 litre lined storage pond, there was an electric stirrer and pump, which pushed effluent out to travelling irrigators…but Ian felt something wasn’t quite right…
Ian could see the original stirrer wasn’t able to get the whole pond swirling, and he asked for it to be removed while he went on the hunt for something better. After doing some research he gave Nevada a call.
Mike took a trip out to visit Ian and have a look at the current set-up. There was more than enough storage capacity, and the concrete pad was in a good location for the stirrer, he just needed a stirrer that would get the job done!
